Local-first, agent-friendly Markdown knowledge base with a cross-platform CLI and web editor

AI Security Review

scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

This is not malicious install-hook behavior: the manifest has no lifecycle hook and no self-dependency. It remains a warning because explicit commands can modify AI-agent skill and MCP control surfaces.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source

Trigger

A user invokes the CLI's skill or integration setup commands.

Impact

A user can extend configured AI-agent capabilities and project skill directories.

Mechanism

Explicit AI-agent skill and MCP configuration management.

AI rationale

Evidence

dist/cli.mjsdist/index.mjs.agents/skills.ok/skills

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 82.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

The package exposes a user-invoked CLI.
The CLI has an explicit skills import command for a project.
The library includes paths and writers for agent skills and editor MCP configuration.

Evidence against

package.json has no preinstall, install, postinstall, or prepare lifecycle hook.
No self-dependency is declared.
The inspected network calls are to localhost services or user-configured provider and GitHub flows; no covert exfiltration was confirmed.
